Nice list but in a 240g you don't want at least a couple whopper size fish. I would think a couple of 12" fish cruising around with the small fish would be pretty cool.

Not to aggressive in my tank either except for the tomato clown which is kind of a damsel I guess. I feed twice a day about a medium portion. They will survive on once a day but won't grow much which may be a good thing depending on the size of your tank.

Good idea and good luck with new additions. Eggcrate is great though it does diminish the lighting somewhat because it tends to direct the light straight down then letting it spread out over your entire tank. IMO it is well worth it though to keep your fish from carpet surfing.

Any fish can jump so if you have an opening in your tank you shouldn't keep any fish not just triggers

Yeah I feed turnip greens from the grocery store. $.89 cents for a crap load and my naso and hippo tear them up. Have shown remarkable growth since I started feeding them about 6 months ago. Way more nutritional value then romaine and way more digestable. Check out this link...

Probably a wise descision but could be a reason to start up that big ole predator tank you've been thinking about.

I have a 7" one that I have raised up since it was about 2". Awsome fish and pretty laid back as far as fish that are already in the tank. New additions are rough but I keep him with percula clowns, chromis, 2 dwarf angels, some damsels, big tangs and he does not bother them. He did kill a 8"...

Their diet in the wild is mostly corals and anenomes so pretty much any coral is on the menu.

I feed 2 medium size portions a night. The amount it takes to disappear in about a minute or less as well as one sheet of seaweed selects and turnip greens. I do have a huge skimmer and fuge to help keep nitrates down though.

I was afraid to look on this thread and see what some of you guys are paying out there but it turns out I spent the most so far. $150 for a medium adult size emperor that my lunar killed within 4 days.

I have the octopus-recirc 300. I have a 150g with a 90g sump and it does great. Paid around $340.

That is one bad a$$ dude. Great pic and thanks for sharing.

Yes Naso's can be tough to get to eat. Mine was a struggle and eats everything now but I believe these fish absorb very little from meaty items like sailfins and hippos do. If mine is not fed seaweed selects and turnip greens everyday he will start to get a pinched belly even if fed plenty of...

Very cool. That is great being able to catch your own goodies like that.

I use pellets now but had used flakes for years. Now that my fish have gotten bigger they make a mess splashing at the top of the water trying to get the floating flakes. Like Stanlalee said just drop in a few at time and let them gobble them up. Sometimes the pellets still float though and my...

This is a quote from Wetwebmedia. This dude dives with these fishes all the time as well keeps them as a hobbyist. Just food for thought but by all means do anything you want. Tankmates: Similar appearing fishes, and ones utilizing about the same ecological niches should not be placed with...

Sorry to hear about that. The beginning to this hobby can be really frustrating. Even when you get things running smoothly it still can be frustrating.

What size tank?

I am interested in this as well. I have been thinking about adding one for awhile now. Keep us posted on how he does. From what I understand as long as you feed them a couple times a day they are bulletproof.
